SkyFly camera setup
 
Very new to RC airplanes I purchased a SkyFly. Just finished my 6th flight with it and having loads of fun. I think it is a great beginner plane since it reacts fairly slow to stick input and is easy to fly (I had a helicopter before...[:@]) Chances are good to correct a mistake. No-prop landing a a bit difficult since the elevator does not bring the nose up, just keeps it level even at full stick. I think I am going to try adding extensions to rudder and elevator as well as some packing tape for the hinges...;).
I purchased a small camera that I will mount and test on the weekend. The camera weight is 15 gram and comes with a 9 volt battery that weighs around 35 grams. I think that adding 50 grams to the SkyFly is a bit much so I will see if I can tie into the battery of the plane. Since I am flying on a field, I took the wheels off and belly-land.
I think it is a great plane to learn and prepare for bigger things. [sm=thumbs_up.gif]
